Education and Interculturality Research Group (GIEI)

The research group "Education and Interculturality" (GIEI) of the Salesian Polytechnic University seeks to respond, on the one hand, to the lines of research determined by institutional priorities, in this case: education, interculturality and youth. On the other hand, through its investigations, it is committed to the constitutional regulatory framework, the public policies in force in the country and the National Plan for Good Living 2013-2017.

From Latin America, the GIEI seeks to rethink from a critical investigative practice, the ways of producing knowledge from a non-Western perspective, the practices of socialization and education in the peoples and nationalities of the indigenous world, the training of intercultural teachers, the educational inclusion of indigenous youth at the Higher Level.
